Delhi Capitals have played just one IPL final so far that was in 2020 and interestingly Mumbai Indians are the side that had outplayed them in a one-sided affair in the summit clash. In 2021, the side had entered the playoffs after topping the points table but lost both the qualifier games to get knocked out of the tournament. Risbhabh Pant continues to lead the side.

On the other hand, the most successful team of IPL, Mumbai Indians, will be led by their regular skipper Rohit Sharma. MI have an image of starting the season with an average performance and accelerating towards the end of the league stage to advange to the playoffs. However, this time the side has to be proactive since the start, as they have lost many important members of their core team who were consistent performers for the side. Ishan Kishan, for whom MI paid a whopping sum of INR 15.25 crore at the IPL 2022 auction, will be the cynosure of all eyes. (MI Team Profile | Schedule)
